Abstract:

Bioelectrocatalysis presents a promising strategy for sustainable nitrogen (N2) fixation to ammonia (NH3), yet the interplay between conductive materials and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) in biofilms remains underexplored. Here, we demonstrate that boron carbide (B4C900) synergizes with EPS to optimize bioelectrocatalytic nitrogen fixation in Pseudomonas stutzeri A1501. The addition of B4C900 enhanced NH3 production by 164.41 %, driven by a 38 % increase in tightly bound EPS secretion and elevated electron-accepting (0.076 ± 0.004 μmol e-) and electron-donating capacities (0.017 ± 0.001 μmol e-). Transcriptomic analyses revealed B4C900-mediated upregulation of riboflavin and cytochrome c biosynthesis pathways within EPS, enriching redox-active mediators critical for electron shuttling. Concurrently, B4C900's intrinsic conductivity facilitated direct electron transport across the abiotic-biotic interface. This dual mechanism - enhancing EPS-mediated redox activity and establishing conductive electron transfer pathways - effectively reduced interfacial resistance and upregulated energy metabolism genes, including those associated with ATP synthase and the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. Our findings establish EPS as a pivotal mediator in conductive material-driven systems, offering a blueprint for efficient N2-to-NH3 conversion and advancing bioelectrocatalytic design principles. © 2025 Elsevier Ltd.
